Fatigue fracture is one of the main causes of structural failure under cyclic loading, so
accurate evaluation of fatigue fracture is very important for the design of structures subjected …

A static peridynamic (proposed by Silling, see J. Mech. Phys. Solids 2000; 48: 175–209)
composite materials (CMs) of both the random and periodic structures are considered. In the …

Fatigue crack propagation in rails is an important factor that increases the cost of railway
maintenance and threatens operating safety. Research into fatigue crack propagation rules …

Aging ships and offshore structures face harsh environmental and operational conditions in
remote areas, leading to age-related damages such as corrosion wastage, fatigue cracking …

Mixed-mode fatigue crack propagation analysis is studied using ordinary state-based
peridynamics. By introducing the concept of “remaining life”, the fatigue crack nucleation and …

Fatigue failure behavior of U75V rail material under Ⅰ+ Ⅱ mixed-mode loading is analyzed
and characterized in this work. A fatigue crack propagation experiment was carried out on …

Superalloys suffer from attack of the hot corrosion, leading to degradation of their fatigue
durability. Previous numerical studies, mostly by the finite element method (FEM), are rare in …

In this paper, an improved peridynamic model is established to characterize the bond-slip
behavior between ribbed steel rebar and concrete. An interfacial force term is introduced …

Based on ordinary state-based peridynamic theory, a 2D peridynamic model has been
established to investigate fatigue crack propagation in railheads. The proposed model is …

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviors are accelerated by corrosive environments, resulting
in higher corrosion FCG (CFCG) rates and more rapid structural failure. Current local-theory …
